Which World War I Clips do you use?

Todd Nussen

While I've never shown a full length film to my classes on World War I, I always find myself using clips from a number of movies.  I can't even recall how many different clips I've shown and from what movies and documentaries, but these are the ones I have used for the last two years.  I show the first two back-to-back when we examine the new weapons of war.  The No Man's Land clip when we examine trench warfare and the last one to show a bit of humanity.  I'm always wondering what others use.  Any clips from 1917? Am I missing other important scenes from War Horse or All Quiet on the Western Front?  Other movies or documentaries? 

For militarism: 

Machine gun v. cavalry War Horse Scene

Tank v. machine gun All Quiet on the Western Front tanks scene

For No Man's Land

War Horse Battle of the Somme

For Humanity: 

Christmas Truce 1914

  •  You have pretty much covered the ones I always show when studying WW1. I be sure to make it a point to put the parental approval as a section in my syllabus/classroom expectations at the beginning of the year/semester that outlines that 1) We will not watch full length movies, and 2) Video clips shown during social studies class will not exceed a rating of PG-13 for high school students. I do not show any clips from rated R movies.
